ISL 2020-21 season likely to be played behind closed doors

The 2020-21 season of ISL will be played behind closed doors amid the coronavirus crisis in the country. The competition is scheduled to tentatively kick off on November 21. However, the authorities have come up with the idea of playing the entire tournament across several venues in a single region. 

After the Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) meeting on July 6, it was revealed that Kerala, Goa, West Bengal and the Northeast region are the ideal regions to host the ISL. The main aim is to avoid air and rail travel to ensure the safety of the players as well as the staff. The teams will be allotted specific areas to stay, to conform with health and safety guidelines.
